Winter and Life

Snow play with the neighbor.  The boys were doing front flips into the snowdrift.

Tessa loves to play with other kids.  She is even starting to give up on her imaginary friend because, "He is not real."  So I love it when she plays by herself in creative ways.  (usually during Leisel's nap time)  Sometimes she will get suited up on her own to play outside during a snow or rain storm and create her own world.  

a fun spot -- just her size

We made it to a bowling alley and a U of U men's basketball game with Grandpa Harston.

I made fresh ricotta for lasagna from the kit Rachel sent for Christmas.  So fun! 

I love the shelves Chris made me for Christmas!  No more crooked frames, just great arrangements. :)

Jared's creative brothers hosted a "lightsaber party".  Who knew from some plumbing parts you could create some amazing looking stuff?  The real photos from the party must be on Jared's hard drive.  Maybe when he reads this he'll send then to me, please?

Not warming up yet, but we tried to get out...

Yea for playdates/swaps with cousins!

another Tessa moment during nap time.  I love that she loves Winnie the Pooh.

Free zoo day!

Michael's BYU car did great at the pinewood derby!  He won the judges choice and fastest in his den.

Each month a good reader is recognized in each class at school.  Jordan was in February and Michael in April.
